Thanks ya'll! She decided to lay her egg today while on the top perch outside.
I watched it fall to the ground and crack open. She immediately jumped down
and tried to eat it. I took it away before she could.
It was very soft (which I expected) but even if it was harder, I don't think it would
have survived the 2 feet fall.
So many possible solutions are going through my head. We are using a good
sized store bought coup with an large dog run as their yard.
I read that once they start eating their eggs, the solution is to get to it asap or
cull them. I'm sure others have been in my chair, scratching their head, sighing
and wondering how did I raise them wrong, or is this the terrible two's in chicken
years!!!
If only they could be egg laying trained like potty training a dog!!! Maybe I
could show her a video!
Appreciate any feedback.
